Orchestrating Your Legacy

A planned gift — such as naming the Symphony as a beneficiary in your will or retirement plan — is simpler than you may think, and it has long-term beneficial implications. Your contribution will positively impact the Symphony with robust programming, educational opportunities, artistic excellence, and community musical experiences.

Donors with planned gifts:

• Contribute to a lasting, thriving future for the Asheville Symphony.
• Ensure the Symphony’s mission: to perform and promote symphonic music for the benefit, enjoyment and education of the people of Western North Carolina.
• Enjoy membership in the Asheville Symphony Legacy Society, which recognizes those who make financial plans in any amount to benefit the Symphony.

Additionally, planned gifts allow tax savings as well as secure current and future incomefor you and your loved ones.

Examples of common planned gifts include:

• A bequest through a will or trust
• A beneficiary designation in a retirement plan or life insurance
• A donation of stocks or real estate
• A gift through a donor-advised fund
• A charitable gift annuity
• A charitable remainder trust

There’s no better time than now to create your legacy!
